Baby girl dies after being hurled from 9th floor


MANILA, Philippines - A new-born baby girl was killed after she was thrown out of the 9th floor of a building in Manila's Binondo district Tuesday morning, a police officer said. The infant girl was described as almond-eyed, fair complexion and pretty. She was brought by concerned citizens to a nearby lying–in clinic before her transfer to the Gat Andres Bonifacio Hospital in an effort to save her. However, she was declared dead on arrival by physicians who said that she sustained severe head, body injuries and had internal hemorrhage. She was said to be newly-born based on the appearance navel. Superintendent Nelson Yabut, chief of the MPD Station 11 in Binondo, said the victim first landed on the rooftop of the palay warehouse near the corner of Jaboneros and San Fernando streets in Binondo, Manila, at 11 a.m. Rodolfo Malion, a barangay tanod, told police that the warehouse men heard a loud thud. When they checked on the commotion, they saw the bloodied infant on the rain gutter of the warehouse's roof. Police believe that the girl was supposedly thrown out by her own mother from the 9th floor of Gold Rich Mansion located at the corner Jaboneros and Madrid Sts., Binondo, Manila. The infant was placed inside a black plastic bag with her placenta. The placenta was turned over to barangay chairman Delia Co. Yabut said there were traces of blood from the comfort room of Unit 905 of the Gold Rich Mansion. “We suspect that the infant was thrown from the window of the comfort room of Unit 905," said Yabut. Police are still trying to identify the girl's "mother." - GMANews.TV
